hi,

my friend recently re-installed XP for me, wiping everything off my PC.

all of my important stuff is stored on an external hard drive, the problem is, when I put it in the USB port, my USB mouse goes off and stops working and it doesn't seem to detect the device either!

the make is Travelstar Inside USB 2.0.

can anyone help me as all my University work is on it and I fear I may gert behind on my studies! arrgh!

Do your USB ports work OK with other USB devices?
